Hi Ralphy,

Sail Amsterdam is really a recommendation!

If you are staying near Den Haag you can visit Madurodam, they build parts of Holland there in miniature.  :) A tour with Spido in the port of Rotterdam is also nice to do. For a few bucks they take you on a 2 or 3 hour tour around the port.

A nice place to visit is called Gevangenpoort:

And also the Museon Science museum :D
There was a massive diamond robbery in 2002, worth 6 million Euros!

Have a good time!

Not knowing your age and without wanting to cause any offence I'll be very careful!

All I'll say is whatever you do; great country, great people, great food, great drink, great times!

How you getting there Ralphy?

I used to do the Hull to Rotterdam crossing quite a bit, that was great just in its self!

Enjoy.
